Emergency day!!

Today we went through the procedures in case anyone has a medical emergancy in our clinic. Eveything made sense in class so now we shall see if we are ever put into the situation! Hopefully not! Oh but I was reading my clinic manuel last night and had a dream that an earthquake and tornado hit the clinic! But don't worry, some very cute boy was here and hid by me! Made it all the worth while!

My first fake real paitient!

Today we were able to act that one of our peers was a real paitent! Oh it was nerve racking but I'm really glad that we were able to do this so that I was able to go through the whole process so that when I'm doing my real paitent I will be able to go through it so much smoother! I got all the way done too!

Seal what?

Today we were able to learn the PSR and how to classify them when probing, I really don't see the use of this for if you come across a pocket that is deeper then 6mm you have to record everything so if you find a deep pocket at the end you have to redo everything you just did! Oh crap!!! Anyways, I found that my molar is hard to put a sealent on since it has a flap of skin over it! Oh yeah!

Sealents

Well now all my teeth that did not need restorations have been sealed. I passed off my PE on the sandblaster, aka prophyjet, so no more swallowing the whole of the great salt lake! To do sealants I will have to remember all of the steps but I think that it will be okay, the order makes sense so it will come!

Salty?!

Today we learned the air/water polisher and I feel bad for any of my patients that have to endure that torture again!!! My face feels like I have just swam across the great salt lake! I did like the way that it seemed to clean off stains that I would not get my scaling or polishing, just don't plan to use it for just anyone. I am getting more comfortable with the posterior teeth and scaling, just seems to be so limited space back there!

Ultra Sonic!!!!

Oh yeah today we got to learn the ultra sonic! It was a blast! I really do like it for it puts less strain on your hands yet gets off the calculus! I did notice today while doing it that my adaption and angulation is finally coming and I don't have to think about it so much! That is so excititng! I do need to go home and practice my posterior scaling so that is my goal for this time!
